Why I'm in favour of Proportional Representation

[andrewducker]

According to the BBC, the current polls show Lib Dems on 33%, Conservatives on 32%, Labour on 26%.
Which would give a seat allocation of Conservatives: 246, Labour 241, Lib Dems: 134.
Or, in a more easily digestible table format:

Party	Percentage	Seats
Lib Dems	33%	134
Conservatives	32%	246
Labour	26%	241

It should be pretty fucking obvious that this is an electoral system that is fucked in the head.

I would prefer them to be underweighted as you put it and keep a basically two party system. I am not in favour of coalitions in the slightest and a stronger libdem/liberal or whatever the fuck they are called now party will just mean more coalitions in the future. We have one now in Germany and its a bloody waste of time.
